150 bars, 9:04, at 66 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-73, snare through bars 74-81 and hi-hat through bars 82-150.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 94-101 and 116-149 -- 28% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
150 bars, about 9:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 minutes each.
